A manufacturer of bicycles builds​ racing, touring, and mountain models. The bicycles are made of both steel and aluminum. The company has available 64,600 units of steel and 24, 000 units of aluminum. The​ racing, touring, and mountain models need 17​, 19​, and 34 units of​ steel, and 9​, 21​, and 12 units of​ aluminum, respectively. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.

a. Set up the Linear Programming problem is x= # of racing bikes, y=# of touring bikes and z = # of mountain bikes

b. How many of each type of bicycle should be made in order to maximize profit if the company makes $8 per racing bike, $12 per touring bike, and $22 per mountain bike?

c. What is the maximum possible profit?

d. Are there any units of steel or aluminum leftover? How much?

b. 1,900 mountain bicycles, 0 racing bicycles and 0 touring bicycles to maximize profit

c. $41,800

d. 1,200 units of aluminium is left over

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let:

x= Number of racing bikes,

y= Number of touring bikes and

z = Number of mountain bikes

Constraints are;

17x+19y+34z<=64600

9x+21y+12z<=24000

x>=0

y>=0

z>=0

b. Maximize P = 8x+12y+22z

Subject to;

17x+19y+34z<=64600

9x+21y+12z<=24000

with x>=0 ; y>=0 ; z>=0

applying simplex method (see attachment);

z=1900 ; x=0; y=0; P=41,800 ; s₁=0 ; s₂=1200

b.  The manufacturer are to make 1,900 mountain bicycles, 0 racing bicycles and 0 touring bicycles to maximize profit

c. Maximum profit is $41,800

d. no steel is leftover while 1,200 units of aluminium is left over.  

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.

c. prove the lengths are the same.

step-by-step explanation:

you need to prove the segments are congruent. congruent segments have the same length. find the lengths of the segments using the distance formula, and compare them.

answer: c. prove the lengths are the same.
